Well, they do call jail the joint

Just a thought….if your sentence is to just spend weekends in jail, you might want to avoid doing anything that will put you behind bars the rest of the week.

You know….things like TRYING TO SMUGGLE DRUGS INTO JAIL! As a result of that, a Chautauqua County man has gone from part-time to full-time prisoner.

Sheriff’s deputies say the guy had a condom stuffed with pot stuffed…..well, you can picture where he had it. Now I know it’s boring behind bars….but if you’re only there for a few days at a time, can’t you do without the weed?

We have a feeling he’ll be spending a lot more time there.

Pot is hot, the sequel

They are busting at the border. Hundreds of pounds of pot seized! Millions of dollars worth! Lots and lots of very disappointed people!

The other day we told you that US Customs agents made a 350-pound pot bust at the Peace Bridge. It turns out Canadian Customs agents at the Lewiston-Queenston Bridge are beaming about a bust of their own.

The Canadian border patrol says agents found about 150 pounds of pot….worth nearly 1.4 million dollars…hidden in duffel bags in the cab of a truck. Duffel bags! How original….I wonder if he had a Cheech and Chong sticker on the bags.

I know what you’re thinking….150 pounds is a lot of weed, but it’s a lot smaller than the Peace Bridge stash. True….but it’s still the largest pot bust EVER for Canadian agents at one of our local bridges. Way to go, dudes….you might get employee of the month for this one.

The driver faces a bunch of charges, including money laundering. (Did I mention agents also found $23,000 in cash?) So now there are a lot of bummed-out potheads in Canada. At least they still have good beer.

Party at the Peace Bridge!

Okay, so the headline is a little misleading…..I really don’t think customs agents are going to be partying with the 353 POUNDS OF POT they found Monday. 353 pounds! Dude, I know there’s big bucks in bud, but don’t be greedy…a little discretion goes a long way.

The weed was in wood. (don’t you just love alliteration in drug stories?) Customs officials say a transport truck driver from Canada had packages of pot hidden in a shipment of firestarter wood. Apparently an agent became suspicious of the way the dude was acting (hmmm….hundreds of pounds of pot hidden in the truck….I can see where he might be acting a little nervous) so they X-rayed the truck and found the stash.

The dope driving the dope faces a bunch of charges. Agents say he was headed to Massachusetts….where plans for a Boston “T” party have now gone up in smoke.

Driving while stupid

Our “dumb druggie of the day” story comes to us from Niagara County…..and as an added bonus, it’s a two-fer!

Let me make it clear once again….I am not condoning nor supporting the use of illegal drugs. But I do support the concept of NOT BEING AN IDIOT.

If you’re gonna drive around with pot in the car….you might want to make sure you actually do have a driver’s license. The other night, sheriff’s deputies pulled a car over just before 2:00 a.m. (when police tend to be extra suspicious of any car on the road). According to the cops, the 19-year-old driver didn’t have a license (it was suspended) but did have pot under the seat. Now the bonus part….deputies say there were also five cold bottles of beer….and they say the 18-year-old passenger said they belonged to him. Good move!

So the driver is charged with marijuana possession, driving without a license, and failure to keep right (which, btw, is something you probably want to do when you’re driving around at two a.m. with no license and pot in your car). The passenger is charged with unlawful alcohol possession. And sheriff’s deputies are eternally grateful for stupid people.
